Browser history currently does not preserve local history. All modern browsers, on the other hand, will preserve history for the tab when you "undo close".

To observe difference, do the following:

- Go to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24518507 , click 'parent', close tab, undo close tab, hit back. Where are you?

- Load the page that was the 'parent', hit back. Where are you?

Each tab is a history tree. The history page, on the other hand, is a linearized chronological list. They are non-equivalent.

I guess, I want a browser history UI that's better integrated with tabs.
